There certainly have been a lot of articles today. It's getting hrad to keep up with all of them. That is a good problem. On topic, I'm not sure why it's download only. Maybe it's similar to why Unchained Blades is download only outside of Japan.
It would be amazing to see 3D models in battle, similar to the 3D Pokedex. The use of the 3DS's internet functions would work with my computer so I could finally battle and trade online.
This seems like a pretty good list. I agree with most of it, but I would have put Uprising higher on the list. Ah well, I'm not going to lose any sleep over. O_e
It's good to see that the problem is being addressed. It's nothing major, but it will be nice when it loads faster. Once that is taken care of, I will have virtually no complaints about my Wii U.
I have to say I was very impressed with the demo. It provided three excellent stages that show off what this game is about. And it gives players who are new to the series a chance to get used to the controls. I've been sold on this game for a long time now, but the demo just made me want it even more.
I've rarely played a demo more than once or twice. One of the few exceptions was Rhythm Thief, and my brother ended getting it so now I can play it anytime I want.
The demo is amazing! Can't wait for the game to come out. @dequesi - The demo can be played 30 times. That means you can start it up and close it down 30 times. Hope that helps.
@Chriiis - If they had at least left access to the WiiWare shop and kept the SD card slot, the Wii Mini would have been excellent, imo, for those who just want to play games and who don't care about online. Oh well, hopefully this is what someone is looking for.
@Chriiis - That was a general statement. It wasn't directed at anybody in particular. Sorry if it felt like I was targeting you or something. I agree about the look of the console though. It does look nice and retro.
Keep in mind that this is not Nintendo's new console. This is just a final iteration of the Wii (as far as I know ). As for the target audience of this device, this might make that clearer. This article also seems to suggest that it is still only available in Canada. One final thought, no one is making you buy it. Hope this helps.
This game changes Santa's "Ho, ho, ho" to "no, no, no." This game = that awkward fruit cake that nobody wants to eat. Thanks for sampling it for us so we wouldn't have to, @Chicken.
@Applejacklove - He did buy a Wii U. There was an article on here a few days ago talking about it. It shows that even though Sony and Nintendo are competitors, they can still be respectful and enjoy the other's products.
I said it made some sense, not that I agreed with or enjoyed it. I believe that that type of control could be better handled than with time constraints. I mean, some dorky 12 year old is going to go to a friends house for a sleepover, and stay up and download games like this. A better system should be implemented.

"Nvidia Unveils the Daunting Project Shield"
A game changer for 3DS?
It's funny, I read that as "game charger" at first.

Re: Rumour: 3DS Cartridge Could Allow Handheld to Function as Wii U Controller
I have wondered to myself if the 3DS could be used as a less sophisticated GamePad. I'm doubtful as to whether Nintendo will release the add ons.

That was a really great (really short) trailer. I can't wait to give this game a try.

Re: Review: Johnny Impossible (3DS eShop)
"Johnny Impossible to Have Fun" would have been a better title.
Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life's Community Awards 2012
This seems like a solid list. It's nice to see Uprising at the number one spot for the community. Looks a lot of users have similar tastes as I do.
Re: Game Freak: The Pokémon World Will Be Evolving In 2013
It would be amazing to see 3D models in battle, similar to the 3D Pokedex. The use of the 3DS's internet functions would work with my computer so I could finally battle and trade online.

Re: Feature: 10 Essential Games For Your New Wii U
Seems like a nice recommendations list. I personally would add Scribblenauts myself. It's so much fun if you've got immagination and wacky brothers.
Re: Feature: 10 Essential Games For Your New 3DS
I can personally recommend Kid Icarus: Uprising. It has become one of my favorites.
@Sun - I liked NSMB2. I've got 1,000,000 coins to prove it.
Re: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity Hitting North America March 24th
This is another game to add to my list for 2013. I really enjoyed PMD EoD, and I hope to enjoy this one too.

Re: Fresh Figures Suggest Nintendo DS Is The Most Popular Console Of All Time

Re: Mega Man 1 to 6 Blasting Onto 3DS Virtual Console
I have yet to give Mega Man a go so this may be the perfect opprotunity to try it out.
Re: Talking Point: Test Running Rayman Legends
I have to say I was very impressed with the demo. It provided three excellent stages that show off what this game is about. And it gives players who are new to the series a chance to get used to the controls. I've been sold on this game for a long time now, but the demo just made me want it even more.

Re: Talking Point: The Wii U eShop Needs Patience
Good things come to those who wait.
Re: Hardware Review: Wii Mini
@Chriiis - If they had at least left access to the WiiWare shop and kept the SD card slot, the Wii Mini would have been excellent, imo, for those who just want to play games and who don't care about online. Oh well, hopefully this is what someone is looking for.

Re: Castlevania: Mirror of Fate's Boxart Comes With Lashings Of Belmont And Added Alucard
I haven't played Castlevania or even know that much about it, but I have to say that box art looks pretty spectacular.
Re: Talking Point: Time to Adjust Nintendo Direct Expectations
Make's perfect sense. There can't be an enormous surprise every time.

@Gangnam-Sam - Next time, just put in img instead of image. Hope that helps.

@Jaz007 - I think you're on to something big.

Re: Nintendo Enjoys Bumper North American Hardware Sales In November
This good news. It sounds like Wii U is off to a good start in the United States.
Re: 18-Rated Content on Wii U eShop Only Accessible for Four Hours a Day
@madgear - Exactly! If parents watch what video games their children buy or receive, there shouldn't be a problem.
